Virtual Sports Network Madden 13 Interview with Creative Director Mike Young

[Lionsfan7887]

Good interview. Sucks about the draft classes though

[StrawHat Patriot]

What happens if the player you are controlling gets hurt?

Will he ever get hurt? I doubt it.

if i choose to play as a player can i control any position on field or are we restricted to only playing as certain positions.

i read that only some positions were playable, i think in the interview he said only the fun positions (whatever that means).

Pretty sure that I read somewhere on one of the blogs that if your player gets injured you are just watching from the booth like you would if you weren't a starter until your player is healthy. Now whether or not your created players on Madden '13 would be susceptible to a career ending injury is another matter entirely. That would obviously mean you had to just start over if that is part of the random scenarios to deal with as part of the experience. I can see pros and cons to both lines of thought.

Here are the positions that I understand will be available in CC. Each position will let you choose from certain styles of play. For example - QB will have the ability for you to choose between a balanced player, pocket passer, field general, etc.

Quarterback
Halfback
Wide Receiver
Tight End
Cornerback
Safety
Defensive End
Defensive Tackle
Outside Linebacker
Middle Linebacker

So much for the guys that wanted to be an offensive lineman or punter/kicker

Did you ever find anything out about having a 2nd string qb moving on after a good year to another team and still beaing able to control him, or if your a coach that gets fired moving on to a new team or are we always stuck with the team we pick to start with?
P.S. I really hope this is not the case, I dont wanna always feel stuck..

You would always retain control of your created player/coach, even if you went to another team. If your coach gets fired and you want to stay with your favorite team then you would just create a new coach identity and hire him as the coach.
